All the things that used to mean a lot to me
Don't matter anymore
Ain't no surprises, and we're too young
To come to that
Oh time has a way of lessening love
You know that's true...
Nothing at all

We spent last night like every night
Sitting and staring
I wish we could fight at least
That would be something
Time has a way of lessening love
You know that's true
So don't bother listening anymore darling
'Cause I'm writing my last song about you
Nothing at all
You don't say nothing
'Cause there ain't nothing at all

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
